It is not possible to answer this, as there are an infinite number of solutions.
Each ship's position is an arc of radius
100ctnTheta (where theta is either 30 or 45). Then if each ship can be anywhere on its arc, the distance between those many possible positions is infinite.
Now if you mean by "on the two sides of a lighthouse" to mean a straight line including the two ships and the lighthouse, then distance between ships is 100(ctnTheta1+ctnTheta2)
Two ships are sailing in the sea on the two sides of a lighthouse. The angle of elevation of the top of the lighthouse is observed from the ships are 30 degrees and 45 degrees respectively. If the lighthouse is 100m high, the distance btn the ship is?
